Marrs Bar Lite - 35lbs Safety Squat Bar

Lighter weight, but solid build, great pad

While I have enjoyed SSB's from other brands...they are often cumbersome to maneuver in and out of the rack and are a non-starter for my teenage daughters (they prefer goblet squats or a smith machine). This lighter variant, the padding is exceptional, the ease of maneuverability is second to none. My only wish is for a different handle option. Shipping was well packed, quick, always a delight buying from The Strength Co.

Best price

This bar is not cheap, but the strength co. has the best price. The bar itself is amazing, my wife and i are able to squat now and not irritate our shoulders.

Good Product, Poor Delivery

I would love to give a 5-star review, but my issue with shipping won't allow me to. The bar itself is great. As older lifters with shoulder issues and a love for the low-bar squat, my wife and I agree this is amazing. If I had one nit to pick it would be the space between the handles. I have an extra wide head so I have to duck completely under the handles then stand up so that my ears don't hit the handles, nevermind the pads. Again, this is my own problem, but an extra inch would have been nice. My issue with shipping is that it took 15 days for the bar to ship. It had been out of stock for a few weeks and I had signed up to be notified when it came back in stock. I ordered the same day I received the notification. I sent an email after 11 days asking when it would be shipped and it was told it would be another 4 days. It took 5 days to transit, which is common for a product of that size and distance traveled. The website says products will ship in 1-2 days after an order is placed. I don't really care that it took so long to ship, but I do have a problem with not notifying about delays, even if it's not their fault. Just let me know so that I don't feel like you don't have your s$%# together. I also had no idea that I'd have to put the sleeves on myself. Not a big deal, but I used my own hex wrench because I didn't see the one provided until I emptied out all of the boxes to break down for recycling. Maybe tape it to an inner box on top? Overall, I'm happy with the bar, but maybe a resupply of crayons to eat is needed (just a friendly jab from an old squid)!
